sitting on the bench.(writers block challenge)

Apr 23, '08 9:06 PM
for everyone

The empty bench sits and beacons you,
to place yourself upon it and enjoy the view it has to offer,
Who knows the things you may find if you just accept the offer of the empty bench?

You may find that someone you never knew before sits down beside you.
this person may be a friend in waiting..
a person with a wonderful story to tell
if you only are willing to listen..

If you sit upon the bench you may find that you get to enjoy the splendor
of God creation as only He can give it to you.
a few moments alone just you and the Creator of the universe together as one.

Maybe if you sit upon this bench you will find that
The birds will come to rest upon the land before you.
You can feed them the bread crumbs of the day.

Who knows what will happen if you just take the time
to accept the invitation to sit upon the bench
and take some time apart from the hustle of the day to day things

OH!!! Yours is different from all of ours! This was great! I loved how the bench is open for anyone! And it's so optimistic and hopeful!

You do good work, MM!

Awesome... and paired with a PERFECT image... though to be honest, your images in your poem easily stand without the visual. *sigh* Stories... I LOVE stories :) Listening to people... where they've been, where they dream of when they wake and sleep... stories are the BEST!!!

I love this stanza... makes my mind wander to happy places... the bread crumbs of the day... what a great metaphor... sharing what we have... what is left with us. *sigh* Thank you. I really enjoyed this.

Cool idea... Start with a visual... writing is so much like that, hey? Sometimes it's a visual... a feeling... the impact of a stray ray of light... You are very good, you know.

A bench is so inviting. It's a place to commune with others or with nature or with God. A place to count one's blessings. A place to plan. A place to rest physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
